Description

Bedlam (RKO, 1946). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Inspired by the actual Bethlem Royal Hospital and William Hogarth's
novel A Rake's Progress, director Mark Robson and producer
Val Lewton descend into literal madness in the setting of a
decrepit insane asylum. Boris Karloff plays the immoral and
apathetic Apothecary General, the institution's keeper, while Anna
Lee portrays the crusading reformer who gets herself locked up when
she pries too deep. A great thematic poster for many horror
collectors, this one sheet has separation at the crossfolds and the
bottom of the vertical fold, slight edge tears at the center
horizontal fold, a small chip in the upper left border, and two
small tears in the bottom border. The bottom vertical fold split
has been repaired with archival tape on the verso. Folded, Very
Fine-.
